Many people do not trust themselves at all when it comes to songwriting and sure it is difficult to come up with brand new original songs. Most songwritershave maybe at some point tried to write, but have then lost completly faith in their own ability and simply rely on others to either write the songs or simply do covers instead.

However... songs are the life and bread of music, without songs no music, without lyrics nothing that people can sing along to. Songwriting is a skill like many other skills, a skill that builds upon talent, but it also builds around a lot of tricks and tips that all those great songwriters in the past have had to experience themselves first hand before becoming great.

I have written songs forever, it's my thing, and I have build my own complete method of doing them, based on experience and also by hearing the results again and again in the end. Asking my self questions, how do I get people to sing along? How do I get them to wake up with the melodies in the morning? How do I get them to get excited about the live performances? What is it that makes a song special? Is it the tempo? Is it the key? The conclusion I have arrived at is, it's all about tensions and things that are un-expected, things the listener may have heard before, yet at the same time, not at all. The lyrics, the story line, the rhymes - it all has to come together. This method book is about how to build up simple but memorable songs with lyrics that can fill anything from your local to stadiums.

Today streaming is king and the algoritmes are cruel, it's all machines, they know excactly when people skip track, how long they listen in seconds, if they listen again because it's all data, but in the end it's the listerners that make these choices, it's all about, do they get into your song or do they not? It's not different from the real world and with live shows of all sorts. There are bags of things that's helpful to know before you write your songs, in the book I will go though a lot of that based on my own experiences.

About the Author

Saabye has written pop songs all his life. He landed via his first entry into the London music scene bang in the middle of the BritPop mania and got to hang out with all the biggest bands and the music industry at a unique time in England and learned first hand how much music means to so many people, as well as he understood very quickly that without a good song it's going to be extremely difficult at having a career in the business of music on a large scale.

"What you really should aim for as a songwriter is to write songs not only for yourself, but for everyone to wake up to, listen to everywhere, have the best (or sadest) of memories too... the list of reasons to write goes on and on....

Today everybody can essentially release their own music, but without having great songs that stands out, the complex algorithmes build into streaming services will see that listeners skip early and thus ignore you completely without you being able to do anything about it. So whatever you are writing for yourself, your friends and family, your band or all the way towards the charts, be it for yourself or some established artist, this book based on my very own experiencs and my personal solutions, my very ideas, my take on the international music industry that i love from all my heart is for you to get inspired by. I simply love music, but I love songs first, love good songs, with great melodies and lyrics that you connect to"

about the bySaabye Factory

bySaabye Factory is a virtual exhibition from colourful Scandinavia that operates within bang up-to-date international top 50 style Pop Music and connected art of all sorts.

A mecca of party, colour and Music, seeking answers in a world that is 2023, in times of trouble, yet a carousel of sweets… bons-bons, international Pop, art, eBooks about professional SongWriting and sure… merchandise. All true exciting thoughts on how the Music and art world has changed and evolved, a novel take on the great Rock’n Roll swindle in the days of yes…. global lockdowns.

bySaabye was founded pre covid-19, in the year of 2019, by Saabye, a true creative, arty soul in Copenhagen. Could be described as an Arrogant Aristocrat, and isn’t that great? Un-complicated to the core, extrovert to the extreme yet driven, fiercely brave and ambitious. He is a professional Composer since always, primarily in the field of UK/US Pop, writes to no end Songs both to his alter-ego Stian, well-known established artists and anything in between. The alter-ego Stian is his playground, the utter childish wannabe Popstar, un-gifted, immature, yet at the same time a perfect match for Saabye’s Art-Pop, even if he nearly can’t speak in understandable manners for adults or hold any kind of a decent conversation… yet, his fanbase is out there and is very much on the up…

Saabye, self-made and autodidact to the bone, grew up peacefully in the greenest of suburbs in Copenhagen, before venturing out to develop the sweetest of Pop dreams via Paris and London. Pitched as the start of the future, all didn’t go exactly to plan, but he met and hung out with the best of people in the midst of BritPop and post BritPop, thus whereas the plan was more Kim Wilde and Sade style of wonderful prima donna millionaires… it went all British! Saabye is well enthusiastic, vigorous and brilliantly brave… always… and today, here in the midst-lockdown, writes, produces and gets Stian to perform a new single release every single Monday - and that with a video too - for a full calendar year! He also writes Songs to established global talent using his own techniques from his new 2023 eBook ‘the Art of Modern SongWriting in the Streaming Age’ and the ‘One Hour Session’ conclusion… “make it 1, say 2 Songs within a 60 minutes concentrated effort”…. add Pop art, TV/Radio and the rest… rest assured, he will do everything that he possibly can to be a good sport.
